BUTTERWORTH – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigation into the alleged misappropriation of RM92.5 billion is politically motivated to undermine opposition coalition Perikatan Nasional (PN), said Bersatu information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan.
He said PN is being targeted after it did well in last year’s general election, adding that the coalition is the only political force to mount a serious challenge to the ruling government.
“PN had on several occasions been accused of abusing funds as much as RM600 billion. This figure is constantly changing. Now, the probe is being continued,” he said after a constituency visit in Tasek Gelugor.
He added that PN should not fear the investigation as the funds were used in fiscal packages aimed at propping up the economy during the Covid-19 lockdowns over the last three years, especially when PN was in government.
